The YouGov survey comes after a summer of demonstrations and urgent warnings against the impact of mass tourism from Santorini to the Canary Islands, and measures aimed at reducing it announced from the Cinque Terre to Amsterdam.<\/p>\n<p>The polling in Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and the UK found Spain was the country that felt most strongly about the phenomenon, with 32% of respondents saying there were now too many foreign travellers in their area. That number rose to 48% in Catalonia, the region that includes Barcelona, whose 1.6 million residents receive about 32 million visitors annually, and of which one local columnist said last month: \u201cMy city has been stolen from me, and I\u2019m not getting it back.\u201d At 28%, Spain was also the country where respondents were most likely to have a negative view of international tourists. Both these figures were markedly higher than elsewhere, although significant minorities in some countries shared the same views.<\/p>\n<p>In France, 18% of people surveyed said they felt there were too many international tourists where they lived, and 16% said they had a bad opinion of foreign visitors. The corresponding numbers in Italy were 16% and 11%, and in Germany 13% and 14%. People in Spain also felt more strongly than others about the short-term holiday rentals sector, which is widely accused of removing accommodation from the local residential market and inflating rents to a point many residents cannot afford.<\/p>\n<p>Spain\u2019s government in July announced a crackdown on short-term holiday lettings, pledging to check that listings on platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com had licences, while Barcelona\u2019s city council aims to ban all holiday flats by 2029. The survey showed more than a third of Spaniards (37%) felt the holiday lettings sector brought more harm than benefits, and 45% said they had a negative view of it, an opinion shared by smaller but significant minorities in other countries.<\/p>\n<p>In the UK, 33% had an unfavourable opinion of the sector, followed by 30% in Italy, 28% in France, 24% in Denmark and 21% in Germany. Opinions of the hotel industry were very largely favourable in all countries surveyed, at between 69% and 73%. France (47%) and Germany (45%) had the strongest negative opinion of another controversial sector, the cruise industry, while in Spain (20%) and Italy (19%), where Barcelona and Venice have taken steps to discourage cruise ships, views were less unfavourable.<\/p>\n<p>Europeans broadly backed anti-overtourism campaigners\u2019 concerns, with sizeable majorities in every country saying they had either a \u201cgreat deal\u201d or a \u201cfair amount\u201d of sympathy for residents of popular tourist destinations who were protesting. The highest level of support was again in Spain, at 66%, followed by France, Germany and Sweden (all 65%), then Denmark (63%), the UK (57%) and Italy (53%). As far as authorities\u2019 responses are concerned, the survey also showed broad public support.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/news\/2024\/sep\/13\/third-spanish-people-local-area-too-many-foreign-tourists-survey\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/news\/2024\/sep\/13\/third-spanish-people-local-area-too-many-foreign-tourists-survey\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/third-of-people-in-spain-say-local-area-has-too-many-foreign-tourists\/\">Third of people in Spain say local area has too many foreign tourists<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[16095,1102,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-133723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-foreign-tourists","tag-spain","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133723","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133723"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133723\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
